Just make sure all the parts are there before you start (mine was missing a bracket.) The bracket instructions are a little confusing. Study them carefully to make sure you get them in the right place. Other than that they are very easy to install.

Cool

They are the easiest installs out. I had mine on in 15 minutes (with no air tools). Just don't tighten anything all the way until everything is mounted. You will have to align the brackets so the bars will reach. Make sure to use the set of holes on outer most edge of the mounting brackets. The braces were the only thing that was a pain. The fronts line right up, but the rears take some effort. All in all, about 20 minutes for the average do-it-your-selfer, and about 40 minutes for the occasional. If in doubt, take it to your local truck accessory shop. Although, you shouldn't need to. They look great also. http://www.bmgsite.com/truck
